  • Design of low OSR, high precision analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Rajaee, Omid
    Abstract:
    Advances in electronic systems have lead to the demand for high resolution, high bandwidth Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs). Oversampled ADCs are well- known for high accuracy applications since they benefit from noise shaping and they usually do not need highly accurate components. However, as a consequence of oversampling, they have limited...

  • Design techniques for time based data converters

    Creator:
    Gande, Manideep
    Abstract:
    Modern day CMOS processes are characterized by voltage scaling and geometry scaling. Geometry scaling helps reduce gate delays, thereby aiding in the design of data converters which use time based processing. Another artifact of geometry scaling is the increase in complexity of digital circuitry available on traditional analog ICs, as...

  • Automated synthesis of analog to digital conversion

    Creator:
    Weaver, Skyler
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes circuit architectures and techniques that facilitate the automatic synthesis and fabrication of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). Since automated synthesis already exists for digital circuits and is part of the digital circuit design flow, this work demonstrates the feasibility of ADC synthesis with little or no modification to presently...

  • Duty-cycle controlled switched resistor techniques for continuously tunable, low-voltage circuits

    Creator:
    Kurahashi, Peter
    Abstract:
    A duty-cycle controlled switched resistor is a tunable resistive element that uses pulse width modulation as the method of tuning. This thesis will describe the operation of switched resistors and propose several circuit architectures that are well suited to the use of switched resistors. These architectures include filters, mixers, and...

  • Low power design techniques for analog-to-digital converters in submicron CMOS

    Creator:
    Musah, Tawfiq
    Abstract:
    Advances in process technologies have led to the development of low-power high speed digital signal processing blocks that occupy small areas. These advances are critical in the development of portable electronic devices with small feature size and long battery life. However, the design of analog and mixed-signal building blocks, especially...

  • Single-Ended Techniques for Delta-Sigma Modulators

    Creator:
    Lee, Calvin Y.
    Abstract:
    This work presents a high-resolution Delta-Sigma ADC which combines the use of the pseudo-pseudo-differential noise filtering technique with single-ended ring amplifier based integrators. The pseudo-pseudo-differential noise filtering technique utilizes single-ended circuits while maintaining the even-order rejection found in fully-differential structures which alleviates, in the active analog blocks, the need for...

  • High-performance Ring Amplifier based Analog-to-Digital Converters

    Creator:
    Hu, Hang
    Abstract:
    Ring Amplifier serves as a great candidate both for precision amplification and fast integration in the discrete time system. It can be utilized in high-performance analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). In high-speed ADC utilizing pipelined architectures with residue amplification, Successive-Approximation Register (SAR) ADCs as the sub-ADC and power efficient Ring Amplifier based...

  • Power efficient analog-to-digital converters using both voltage and time domain information

    Creator:
    Oh, Taehwan
    Abstract:
    As advanced wired and wireless communication systems attempt to achieve higher performance, the demand for high resolution and wide signal bandwidth in their associated ADCs is strongly increased. Recently, time-domain quantization has drawn attention from its scalability in deep submicron CMOS processes. Furthermore, there are several interesting aspects of time-domain...

  • Continuous time input pipeline ADCs

    Creator:
    Gubbins, David Patrick
    Abstract:
    Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) convert analog continuous time signals into discrete time, digital format. One precondition that must be met for conventional nyquist rate ADCs is that the input signal must be suitably band-limited to an input bandwidth less than the nyquist frequency. This mandates expensive anti-alias filters which contribute to...
